Examiners report

There was some discussion in the G2 forms about the amount of reading before points h, I and j. Good candidates could be seen to have read it carefully, underling the key words. Weaker candidates not so. In 1h a reason in terms of the highest percentage was looked for and was missed by weaker candidates.
